Your social media feed is, to a large extent, a reflection of your personality. You see posts made by artists who inspire you, athletes whom you admire, and publishers that provide information on the topics you care about.
So whenever something pops up there that doesn't align with your values and interests, it sticks out like a silly misplaced emoji in a serious conversation. However, sometimes people run into things that they find are so far-removed from their casual online experience that they feel as if they just discovered a UFO artifact.
Turns out, one platform is particularly rich with these "surprises," and I think you can already sense which one. (Hint: it belongs to Meta.) And there's a whole subreddit to prove it! So to show you just how wild and unpredictable it can be, we invite you to take a look at what the 2.3 million members of r/TerribleFacebookMemes have been reposting. Oh, darn it, I gave it away. Anyway, here you go!

My Grandpa Just Reposted This Make It Stoppppp
There's no reason to be a d**k to the person just trying to do their job, but they're not wrong.
This Hurts
In a post titled, 'Return to our Roots,' the moderators of r/TerribleFacebookMemes said that "originally this subreddit was about Boomer memes," but it went through quite an intense period.
"It was about memes so painfully unfunny and out of touch that you would choke on a minion if you had to endure one more cry-laughing emoji on a sad post."
However, since the mods allowed members a lot of freedom, over time the community began to transform "into some kind of unholy abomination where ... most of the posts ... are just outright racism or transphobia."
Somebody Came Into A Restaurant And Left This Irl Meme. Does This Being Here?
That's a pretty messed up thing to say about children.

In my humble opinion, drag shows are massively more fun than quantum physics. Also, someone who is incapable of giving people their correct pronouns is most likely also not capable to understand quantum physics, this whiny argument that people can't correctly gender someone who's trans goes on my nerves. It costs nothing to be nice
Education is much more important for children than adult entertainment. It disgusts me that some people think otherwise.

Who would you rather them learn to twerk from? Drag shows are the best and my son has known drag queens his entire life. He's 21, not gay but has friends from all walks of life and is one of the least judgmental people I know. Introduce your kids to the world and all walks of life. They'll be better for it and so will you and the world.
Oh yes! Let's expose are children to adult entertainment! I love it when middle aged men in makeup and scrappy bras and bikini bottoms moon my seven year olds!

Drag shows or quantum physics? Hell, I'm so glad to live in a place where I can get both!
We fight so hard to protect are children from S.A. then expose them to middle aged men in something less than under wear. Parents are paying for education, but instead they're children receive adult entertainment

So we need to be more like communist china? Is that really the comparison you want to go with? Think these things through before you try to spread your transphobia.
They don't need no science. Preacher man teaches them all they needs ta know on Sundays.

The problem is that if you teach all STEM no creativity, there won’t be any new ideas, just people who know how to do stuff the way that they were taught
I don't think you understand that adult entertainment shouldn't be given or explained to children trying to get an education.

“Teaching kids pronouns” oh so you’d rather your kid just not be called a she or a he then since those are pronouns too🤯🤯🤯🤯
Come now, If I was gonna be shot at school I'd rather study twerking too. Seems cruel to force them to study quantum physics before they get killed by America's FrEe-dUmB
Let's expose children we've spent so long trying to protect!

The right basically only has strawmen but Americans do have a stubborn streak when it comes to learning.
Yeah, Pronouns have always been a part of English classes. But that other part is BS.
Realistically, though, how many kids will actually remember and/or apply this knowledge of quantum physics after graduating and moving on?
I have zero faith in America, but I don't think they're teaching children how to tweak. Maybe the pronouns, though.
That is a simplistic, inaccurate, idiotic assessment of a system he/she/whatever has never bothered to educate themselves about.
Unpopular opinion, but the quantum physics is more appropriate for a school setting than the other stuff..
Pronouns are essential language and the twerking part is pure bs
Load More Replies... This isn' t going to end well? Why? The drag queen dont know how to twerk right?
Have you seen some of them they put Megan to shame

And it's absolutely true. I sometimes wonder if those in education are moles for communist states.
Gender pronouns is first world problems for people who don't have to fight for their lives. I'd rather my kids to learn about physics. They won't end studying gender theories and maybe they won't end up working at McDonald's.
Yeah, except American schools *all* teach physics and calculus, and no public school offers any sort of gender studies below the collegiate level. The post above is just right wing alarmist bull s**t.

Wow! So I should alter my whole appearance and style to suit other people's tastes, rather than to suit myself? Never heard that before!.... said no woman ever 🙄
So the moderators had to intervene. "Somewhere in February, a smarter-than-average subscriber in modmail alerted us to the fact that Reddit has a terms of service and today we alert you to that too," they explained in the post.
"Subreddits can get banned and users can get sitewide suspensions for the [things] we feature here. Even if it is meant to laugh at. Even if we explicitly say that agreeing with the bad memes is forbidden."
Woah Fast
This Definitely Belongs Here
So the atheist child created something actually useful and the religious child didn't?
So Funny
To be fair, I know so little about computers and programming,I'd probably do that. I'm sure I could make even the toughest, most experienced tech support cry like a baby.
A Relative Just Shared This After Sharing Pro Trump Memes For 4 Years
"For some bizarre, unfathomable reason, we do actually like this place," the mods continued. "We want to keep it. We want to see it prosper. So we need to go back to our roots."
They announced that they're working hard to eradicate any racism, transphobia, homophobia, and other issues you could've noticed there. Now, "all posts have to follow the site-wide rules."
This post was made in March, and it seems that they're trying their best to live up to it, even if some relics from the past remain.
Omagawd
Their vs. Ours
F**k My Wife Lol Xd
Of course, just like other generations, boomers are much more diverse than these memes suggest. Some of the life experiences, and thus worldviews, of a senior in Toronto likely bear little resemblance to one from Tokyo.
After all, this generation has gone from using landlines to flip phones to smartphones and from typewriters to desktops to laptops.
The "Growing Up In The 70s" Fb Page Is A Gold Mine Of Shit Tier Memes
Well it'd be difficult for the kids who didn't survive to post this meme now wouldn't it?
Haha She Wants A Big Dick
🤔
I want to be honest, I don't care what a woman is. I don't care what a man is either. I don't even care what I am. And you know what? It doesn't matter who identifies as what, nobody is hurt by just being friendly to each other

Plus, they aren't hostile towards younger generations 'just because' and aren't criticizing them as much as it sometimes might seem in the media.
Yes, 48 percent of boomers think that a person's chances of success depend more on their merit than factors that are outside of their control, but so do 44 percent of Gen X, 41 percent of millennials, and 40 percent of Gen Z. So there's no big generational divide on this question.
So maybe we should cut them some slack too? After all, every basket of apples can have a variety of aromas, flavors, and textures.
Why Is Kermit Involved
Sure 🙄
Says one of the people that want to send their children to anti gay camps where abusers roam free and can do whatever they want to the kids.

I mean yeah, but you could make that with anyone having a PHD who hasn't a doctor in medicine, right?
Yes
I would much prefer my warriors to be both. I want my warriors to have very well developed critical thinking skills. I want them to understand and create good strategies. I want them to have empathy. I do NOT want them to be mere animals acting on brute strength only I want them to recognize bad orders that shouldn’t be followed when they’re given, instead of acting like robots given their programming and not questioning it. It’s like the people who claim to be doers, not thinkers. That’s not the flex they think it is. Because things work out much better if you do the thinking BEFORE the doing.

Wow. The first BP post I had to just stop halfway. What a bunch of spiteful cr@p.
These are quite valid memes. Not hateful or offensive at all, most of them.
I upvoted those I hate and those I like. Downvoting those I didn't understand.
